MINING PRODUCTS

Mining is one of the most demanding industries in the world.

Productivity relies on smooth and reliable operations and in mining, the equipment used to extract the minerals are exposed to some of the most extreme conditions in the world.
From severe vibration in exposed, dirty environments to slow movement under heavy
and shock load conditions; all are factors that can limit component life and adversely impact mining productivity in the event of failure.  

At Fox-Oil we understand that key to productivity is equipment reliability which in turn relies on appropriate grease selection. Our in-depth knowledge of grease technologies
combined with an understanding of operational demands has enabled our team of experts to develop a range of products capable of enhancing component protection under the extreme conditions typically experienced in mining applications.

Longer component and equipment life contribute to greater operational reliability, extended maintenance intervals and reduced product consumption. This in turn can contribute to improved operational efficiency, reduced environmental impact
and the delivery of sustainable value.

The excavation, transportation and processing of material within a mining operation requires dedicated, specialised equipment and can be split into two distinct categories:

Fixed Plant
This equipment remains at a fixed location within a mine to assist with the processing and moving of mined material.

Mills and crushers
Conveyors
Kilns and dryers

Mobile Plant
Equipment that frequently relocates within the mine for the purposes of extracting and
transporting material.
Examples of Mobile Plant include:
Giant bucket wheel excavators
Draglines
Mining trucks
Electric mining shovels
